@tyreman thanks for the suggestion!

I use an old bosch GOF900ACE you should be able to pick one up for £50 maybe less, they are very good and reliable, the only problem with them is no extraction, but if you can live with that it's a go...

@swepri thanks mate. I should have spent a bit more time researching before asking, but really appreciate you answering. Looks like I can get at 8mm collet for my router, after a bit of digging. I'll ...

@liebe No, the shank diameter must be the exact right diameter. But, I think the manufacturer is the same as in Darren's link, so you may find one there: Or maybe you can switch collets in your route...

Hi @swepri These have just come back into stock. It says they have an 8mm shank, my router has a 1/4. I'm wondering if these will fit my router as 1/4 works or about 6mm? Cheers

how do you all manage to get a very precise finish to your kits? all i can say those are really fine wood work!

@russ yeah they’re great for some of their starter kits, but once you get it down, there are better options.

@mario heeeey Mario. I hadn’t thought about making a tutorial, but maybe it would be helpful… in the meantime, this is chases video on it: There are tons of information out there about tonal quality...

@russ great! Stewmac sells lots of parts and kits, but they’re $$$$. But to start out, try them their kits are very helpful.. afterwards I use tone-kraft for wire and Philadelphia luthiers supply fo...

finally worked out what I did wrong today, when I calculated the break angle in the body, I was off by 2.5mm, now it all makes sense, I didn't include the thickness of the base plate, hopefully on the...
